Default Audio help please

Ello.... So i have a 2006 2 door and i have quite low quality subs in the trunk. i have ordered a new pair of subs and a amp too go with them. these down here...
http://cgi.ebay.com/KENWOOD-KAC-7204...item45f206703a
I was wondering if the old wiring might be good enough for the power of the new amp... ? I'm not sure how thick the power cord is... i have a wire stripper and the largest slot says "10" but idk what unit of measurement that is. The wire fits in the slot snugly. in the picture below in an attachment of the wire next to a nickel im not sure if that helps or not....

&& i have after market kicker 6 1/2" 2 way speakers. I want to hook up the old amp i had for my subs (400 2 channel) to these 4.... but idk how to bridge the amp... do i just put 2 + and - in for the first channel and the others in the second channel?
and Neone know a site where it could show me how to wire the interiors speakers to the amp?

that wire look really small to be a power wire....I'd get 4 awg.

Check this site out for series/parallel wiring (it says subs, but will work for any speaker).

Bridging is a bit different, and only certain amps can be bridged. What amp do you have now?

Hmmmm, how about this.

Just hook up your front speakers to the amp and leave the rears running off the Head unit
